A father has built a realistic homemade speed camera to stop Stonehenge day-trippers hurtling through his village.

Chris Fawcett took matters into his own hands after more and more motorists began using local roads as a shortcut to the ancient attraction.

Residents say the traffic in Shrewton, Wiltshire, got worse two years ago when a redesign of the Stonehenge visitors centre saw a key road closed and sat navs started to divert drivers through the 30mph village.

DIY speed camera: Chris Fawcett stands in front of his fake camera, which he set up to stop motorists speeding through his village of Shrewton near Stonehenge.

Mr Fawcett built a dummy camera last year from wood but it was burnt down by a mystery vandal.

And he took the second down after threats of legal action from Wiltshire Council which said it was on their land and threatened him with legal action.
